Man with Autism, Who Left Home Months Ago Without Phone or Jacket, Possibly Seen on Doorbell Camera, Family Says

A Washington family continues their search for their missing son, Jonathan Hoang, who has autism and left home without his mobile phone or jacket back in March. The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office initially shared that Jonathan was last seen in Arlington on March 30. However, recent developments suggest that there may have been a sighting of Jonathan captured on a doorbell camera approximately 40 miles away from where he disappeared.

The family of Jonathan Hoang took to social media, specifically the “Help Us Find Jonathan Hoang” Facebook page, to share their belief that he was recently spotted in front of a doorbell camera footage in Kirkland. The family shared screenshots of the video and urged the community to come forward with any information. The sighting has provided a glimmer of hope to the family who has been tirelessly searching for their missing loved one.

According to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, a relative reported hearing Jonathan leave the house around 5:30 a.m. on March 31, but it could have been earlier. Jonathan’s departure was noticed later that day, sparking immediate concern. The fact that Jonathan left without essential items like his phone and jacket raised additional worries for his safety and well-being.

Despite extensive search efforts involving over 150 volunteers, ground teams, K-9 units, drones, and helicopters covering a vast area over six days, Jonathan remained elusive. The search was eventually called off, leaving the family to initiate their own search operations. Furthermore, a GoFundMe page has been set up to support the family as they persist in their quest to locate Jonathan.

Jonathan’s family highlighted his struggles with problem-solving and coping with stressful situations, underscoring the challenges he may face in finding his way back home. The family’s concerns are exacerbated by Jonathan’s high-functioning autism, making it crucial for anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact the authorities promptly.
